Arizona Tribune - Robot Consulting Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Delisting Determination and Request to Appeal such Determination Before a Hearings Panel

The Staff's determination is based on concerns regarding historical trading activity in the Company's securities and Nasdaq's belief that certain factors may have made the Company's securities susceptible to manipulation by third parties.

Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-4 allows Nasdaq "to exercise discretion to delist a company from Nasdaq based on the potential for one or more third parties to engage in misconduct impacting a company's securities where the [U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission] has implemented a temporary trading suspension." Nasdaq has articulated its belief that the ability for third parties to manipulate a security's price indicates that the security does not have sufficient liquidity to promote fair and orderly markets and, therefore, delisting is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest.

The Company has appealed the Staff's determination to a Hearings Panel (the "Panel") on October 23, 2026. As a result of the appeal, the suspension of the Company's securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE by Nasdaq with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") will be stayed pending the Panel's review and decision, although the existing trading halt will remain in effect unless and until it has been lifted by Nasdaq.

To date, Nasdaq has not claimed or communicated a view that there has been any wrongdoing by the Company, whether in regard to Nasdaq's investigation of the recent trading activity of the Company's securities or otherwise. The delisting determination does not have any immediate effect on the Company's ongoing business operations or financial condition, and the Company will continue to conduct its business in the ordinary course.
